561 Wyona Street, Brooklyn, NY 11207

561 Wyona Street is a two-story, two-unit New Law Tenement building located in East New York, built in 1935 and currently owned by Eli Maor. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, most notably a series of heating and hot water problems in January 2021 that affected the entire building, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD. The building's safety systems have also required attention, including multiple violations regarding door self-closing mechanisms in 2021-2022 and window guard issues in apartment 1R that remained open as of 2024, indicating potential safety concerns.

Notably, the building has demonstrated good pest management practices, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years as per the 2022-2024 bedbug reporting requirements, and passed rodent inspections in 2011 and 2012. The building's recent inspection history shows attention to bedbug management, with annual reports filed in 2022, 2023, and 2024 showing no infestations. However, there remain some outstanding maintenance concerns, particularly regarding the window guard compliance in apartment 1R.

The property has experienced recurring issues with door self-closing mechanisms, affecting both the entrance and vestibule doors, though many of these violations were eventually addressed. The building's heating system has also required multiple emergency interventions, particularly during the winter of 2021. While the property has generally met health and safety requirements in recent years, the pattern of heating issues and door safety violations suggests some ongoing maintenance challenges.
